<p>Richard, you must be mistaken. Patent Center has 100% of the
functionality of PAIR.<br>

I received a notice from Claimmaster Software today warning
me, \u201cUnfortunately, a fairly recent update of Patent Center
appears to have been intentionally designed to prevent
automated web scraping.\u201d Once Private PAIR shuts down they
will be unable to fully automate downloading of
bibliographic data and IFW documents as they could from
Private PAIR and
<b><i>until recently</i></b>, from Patent Center. The best
they can do is teach me a semi-manual import tool to obtain
the data for creating Office Action response shells and
filling out PTO forms.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

yet another last-minute degradation of Patent Center.
There\u2019s no mention of this change on the Patent Center
information page. Nor can I find any rule or even guidance
against web scraping.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
